Weinbrenner Shoes Is Great!

Hubby came home from Bukit Merah last night with glowing reports on the Weinbrenner shoes he bought a week ago (*). He said walking down the steep, slippery jungle trail is now as easy as ABC. He said the shoes just "stuck" to the ground and refused to let him slide. Well, the soles were like sports car tyres, so we would have been disappointed if the traction is not good.

His only "complaint" was that his employer gave them too much food to eat.  He said there were 6 meals a day, and the spread was large and extensive, with crabs, prawns, fish, lamb, and all other fattening stuff. He weighed himself and found that he has put on 2kg in the 3 days he was there! Now you know why he "complained", he was concerned about his weight.  :)

What Does 1-Utama Shopping Mall And A Virgin Forest Have In Common?

Nothing really. Except that last Sunday we needed to get a pair of outdoors shoes with a good grip.And 1-Utama has it.

Hubby's employer, for some reason, likes to put his staff through some tough survival activities in his jungle resorts once every few months. 

On the last trip in Belum, hubby slipped and nearly fell to his death. It was pitch dark, and they had to go into the jungle without any lights so as not to disturb nature. He couldn't see where the land slips down and with his existing shoes being worn out, he couldn't get a good grip on the earth bed when the land "disappeared".

Since he has to go to Bukit Merah (again!) tomorrow, for a 3 days 2 nights trip, we decided it's better for him to buy a new pair of shoes.

Hubby's new shoes

A good grip. We tested it at the shop.

No, it was just a red silk cloth (zoomed out view)

By the way, I bought Blackie the CAT this collar & leash at Pet Safari, Ikano 2 weeks ago for Chinese new year - it's good to wear red for the new year, even for cats.  :)

48,000 Cars Went Up Genting In Two Days

Yesterday, we set off to Genting and found that quite a few people in KL had the same idea. We were caught in a massive stand-still traffic jam and had no choice but to park along the side of the road halfway up the hill and walked the rest of the 2 km or so.

The police told us that there were 23,000 cars that went up to Genting on Thursday and 25,000 yesterday, before they closed off the access.

We were relieved when we finally saw Pangsapuri Ria....less than one kilometer away!

The usual "boatman" is dressed in a Chinese costume

Blackie the CAT: Aiyoh! I could have told you humans that it's better to stay home like I did during Chinese New Year. Tsk-tsk

Obama Retook the Oath of Office

It loooked like there was another word that was mis-spoken. Chief Justice John Roberts used the word "to" instead of "of, besides the wrong placement of the word "faithfuly".

According to the Consitution, Obama became the 44th President of the United States at noon on 20 January regardless of whether the oath was taken or not. 

However, to dispel any confusion or future court cases, and questions that Obama might not be a President legally, Barrack Obama retook the Oath of Office in the white house yesterday.

Just to recap the oath that took place on Tuesday:

Justice Roberts: .........that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully....

Obama: .......that I will execute......(pause, realizing the mistake and probably deciding whether to follow)

Justice Roberts (simulatenously with Obama): ....the off....faithfully the pres......the office of the President of the United States....

Obama (simultaneously with Justice Roberts): ....the office of President of the United States faithfully....

This must be the blooper of the year.  :)

Blackie Welcomes America's First Black President

Despite the late hour and hubby having to go to work this morning, we stayed up to watch the inauguration of Barrack Hussein Obama as the 44th President of the United States. 

 

Millions of people braved the cold and turned up to cheer him and to celebrate the occassion, and as the time drew near for the swearing-in, I could feel the excitement and anticipation building as chants of "O-ba-ma....O-ba-ma" rang out. 

And then, the moment to take the Oath of Office arrived. Looking suave and handsome in a black suit, white shirt and red tie, the President-elect stood up, raised one hand, and placed his other hand on the red bible that was used to swear in President Abraham Lincoln in 1861. I was surprised to note that the bible was still in pristine condition. I guessed it was kept in a museum until yesterday? :)

During the Oath of Office, there were some "oops" as the President-elect and Supreme Court Justice John Roberts talked on top of each other, got their words fumbled and there were a couple of awkward pauses.

Justice Roberts said, "I, Barrack Hussein Obama, do solemly swear (pause) that I will execute the office of the President of the United States faithfully."

The Oath is supposed to be, "I, Barrack Hussein Obama, do solemly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States."

The President-elect followed Roberts for a few words before realizing that the word "faithfully" was in the wrong place. Cool as a cucumber, he stopped (but you could see he was restraining himself from laughing) and nodded in a regal way, like as if saying "try again". After that, he tried to say the words ahead of Justice Roberts to get him back on track. 

But what really got me cheering loudly, and forgetting that I'm not an American, nor am I living in America, was his rousing, bold and powerful speech after he was introduced as the President of the United States. He gave a call for action, calling upon Americans to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and remake America. It was unifying, and it was rallying. I found myself nodding in approval.

He had some words for Muslim countries: "To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West -- know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."

He also had words of warning for enemies of America: "We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you."

I hope his mission to reverse all the damages done by the Bush administration will not be opposed by the Congress. A President, after all, has no real power if he's not backed and supported by the Senate.

Oops, what a blooper!!!

Last night, it was brought to my notice that those who visited my blog are not able to view the jelly fish video. Those who tried to view it got the message "this is a private video". 

Upon investigating, I found that, yes, I had accidentally marked it as "private" instead of publishing it in the public gallery. My apologies, everyone! 

Back From Pulau Lalat

Oops, I meant Pulau Langkawi. But really, I think the island should be called Pulau Lalat since the houseflies far outnumber the eagles there. From the moment we stepped off the ferry at Kuah jetty, we were met by houseflies everywhere. Restaurants, food court, toilets, retail shops,duty free shops, Pantai Cenang, everywhere you turn, you see LALAT!!!

Did anyone of you know that there are 2 hotels with the same name "Langkasuka"? Well, I didn't. So, at the taxi counter I told the lady there that we wanted to go to Langkasuka Hotel. When the taxi dropped us off at Langkasuka Hotel, I was surprised as the facade of the hotel was completely different from its picture in the website. The conversation between me and the taxi driver went like this:

Me:                I want Langkasuka Hotel.

Taxi driver:    This is Langkasuka Hotel.

Me:                Huh? Where is the beach?

Taxi driver:    The beach is that way (pointing in the direction), half an hour away from here.

Me:                No, this is not right. Langkasuka Hotel is a beach front hotel.

Taxi driver:    Oh, you mean Langkasuka Beach Resort (stressing the "beach resort").  Sorry, I don't go to there as I'm picking another passenger up in town.

Hubby:          So, what do we do now? How do we get there? (no bus or taxi in sight)

Taxi driver:   You walk over there (pointing in the direction) and get a taxi. 

So, off we trudged with our luggage to the taxi stand that he pointed out. Sorry, hubby, it was my fault that we paid an extra taxi fare for nothing. I should have read the name of the hotel properly when I made the reservations.

But I must say the the beach view at the resort is lovely, and I would recommend it for those who are seeking a local romantic escapade. We booked the Hot Wheels Package, that came with the use of a Proton Wira.

We ate at the hotel as the view was too compelling to resist. The food, however, was less then appetizing. We paid RM79 for spaghetti with bottled sauce, and canned soup. And to add insult to injury, not only was the food not made from scratch, but they were cold!!!

It was only after we insisted did they put the food into the microwave and heat it up slightly for us.

The next day we went to Oriental Village to take the cable car ride to the peak. In the Oriental Village was a small animal farm. The only animals there are rabbits and monkeys, though. The rabbits are not well taken care off. They are hungry and dirty, begging for scrapes of food from the tourists. Someone ought to take a cane to those responsible for taking care of those animals. They ought to be ashamed for not doing their job. 

This bunny looks like it has skin disease. Poor bunny. 

Jalan Dang Wangi in KL has been relocated to Langkawi!  :)

Asses of all sizes

It was a very windy day and the gondola swung left and right like a mad pendulum

After a terrifying ride on the cable car where I studied the attachment securing the gondola to the cable and wondered at the frequency of its maintenance, we proceeded to the Underwater World. Saw a lot of interesting creatures, but I think this wins the prize.

Blimey! What on earth is this???

Video of a jelly fish

That night, we went to Pantai Cenang, the Cherating of the North, for dinner. The place swarmed with European tourists, with hardly a local tourist in sight. However, unlike Cherating, there were lots of eateries and shops in Pantai Cenang.

Overall, it was an enjoyable holiday. And now, some useful info for me to remember (yeah, my blog serves as my extended memory, haha).

Ferry fare: RM23 one way from Kuala Kedah to Kuah Jetty

Cable car ride: RM25 for non-Malaysians and RM15 for Malaysians

Underwater World entrance fee: RM38 for non-Malaysians and RM28 for Malaysians

Parking fee at Kuala Kedah in front of jetty: RM15 per night

Marking 1st Day of 2009 With A Visit to KL's "Gurney Drive"

I know, I know, today is the 2nd day of 2009, and 3rd Jan is only 10 minutes away. But I'm such a procrastinator that to be just one day behind is a super achievement for me......Lol!!!

Anyway, since the sky was overcast, we decided to take advantage of the not-so-hot weather and went for a nature's walk to Ulu Yam, which is about 10km or slightly more, from Kepong. For the uninitiated, Ulu Yam has a water dam, waterfall and a jungle with some eco resorts.

Behold! KL's "Gurney Drive"!

This water dam in Ulu Yam is used to generate electricity

These two goats were part of a larger group of 4-legged beggars  :)

Bird nests hanging from the ceiling of one of the eco resorts we popped in to rest

Chalets on stilts in the eco resort

And this is just the appetizer.....tomorrow, we're heading off to Langkawi, with a one-night stop-over in Penang. I'm so looking forward to the trip, as this is only my 2nd visit to Langkawi in my entire life.

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009

For some reason, I am more excited about new year eve than I am about Chinese new year eve. Maybe it has to do with a change in calendar and diary that gives me the festive mood. 

Anyway, whatever it is, yesterday, I started counting down to year 2009 from as early as 7:09pm. Talk about kiasu-ness.....hahaha. Taking a tip from what I learned about night photography (related post here), I set up my 8-year-old tripod at my living room balcony at 7:09pm and started shooting away.

View of Sri Damansara (I love the ominious contrast of the sky)

View of KLCC, KL Tower, Bukit Bintang and Dataran Merdeka

At last.....9 minutes to year 2009 

*standing at the balcony, waiting for the fireworks display*

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...!!! Boom! Bang! Boom! There goes the fireworks. I did not video record the fireworks in KLCC, Bukit Bintang or Dataran Merdeka as there was another one right in my face, courtesy of Kepong Food Court. It was a scaled-down version of the one they had last year, so they're not really that grand. Nevertheless, I decided to record it regardless. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

DEAREST FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS & READERS, 

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS 

TO ALL OF YOU

AND HAPPY 2009!!!!

How To Take Better Night Scene Photography

While doing research on digital cameras, I came across several tips on how to maximize those particular cameras. While I would not be buying those cameras, it didn't seem to hurt to pick up a trick or two. Of course, not all the tricks might work, especially if you are like me, and own only a point-and-shoot camera with not much manual control. Still, it doesn't hurt to know, right?

So, as and when I'm in the mood, I shall be posting some of the tips here. These tips are not absolute, so if any of you are good at photography, please give some input, ok? It'll be greatly appreciated. :)

First, the question that I am always asking myself - how to take better night scene photography.

1. Long Exposure Time

One of the tricks to taking a clear, crisp night photo is to increase the exposure time. The longer the exposure, the longer the camera absorbs the low light that is available. Try decreasing the shutter speed to 1/15th of a second or longer.

2. Try Not To Use The Optical Zoom

If possible, avoid using the camera's optical zoom as it increases "camera shake". The higher the camera's optical zoom magnification, the longer the lens has to extend to shoot a photography, thus causing the camera to be especially sensitive to movement.

3. A Tripod Is Essential

Use a tripod when taking long exposures for night photography.

Tip no. 2 makes sense to me as I have noticed that if I use the zoom for night photography, the camera shows a "camera shake" icon on the LCD screen, and most of the time, the picture turned out grainy.

Well, until the next tip, happy shooting.  :)

Rocicrus Foundation Supports No-Kill Shelters

Rocricrus Foundation is a program founded by Clement in Penang to support independent no-kill shelters. The name Rocricrus was derived from the founder's three miniature Schnauzer, Rocky, Ricky and Rusty.

Millions of shelters like SPCA and PAWS kill the animals placed in their care to make room for new animals being surrendered. They also kill very young animals, under the belief that no one wants to adopt such a young animal that requires care like a human baby. 

I had made the mistake once, to surrender a 2-week-old kitten that I rescued from a garbage dumpster to one of those shelters, and after issuing me a receipt (a donation is requested for the animal that you surrendered to their care), the lady-in-charge told me that they would put the kitten to sleep as it was too young to be adopted. 

Even if they don't kill the animals surrendered to them instantly, those animals have an "expiry shelf-life". If they are not adopted within, say a week, they will be killed. This is to make room for "more adoptable" animals.

They use the word "euthanasia" to cover up what really happened in the shelters. Genuine euthanasia is a medical decision and is always done in an individual animal's best interest. Below is the definition extracted from The American Heritage Dictionary.

"Euthanasia n. The act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection or the suspension of extraordinary medical treatment. The American Heritage Dictionary"

In those animal shelters, the decision to kill reflect the operating interests of the facilities, not in the best interest of the animals.

Rocricrus Foundation aims to support independent no-kill rescue programs. To find out how you can help contribute to the foundation, please visit :

This Made My Day......

Today was just another busy day all over again. These days there seems to be endless things that require my attention. *sigh* When, oh when, can I have my normal days again, when I could just relax in front of the computer and chat with my cousin? 

Anyway, in the midst of all this hustle and bustle, a pleasant surprise awaited me in my mailbox....a very cute Christmas card from my cousin & her husband. 

This is the card. Cute, isn't it?

How I wish the gorgeous kitten in the mitten would come alive, step out of the card and come live with me. Thanks so much for the cute Christmas card, S and B! *hugs*

Cameras, cameras & camears

Time flies when one is busy. It was with a shock that my numbed, sleep-deprived brain registered that the last post was written 8 days ago. Gosh, I'm 8 days older and I have nothing to show for it, other than more wrinkles....is it any wonder that my hubby asked me for a show cause letter???.......LOL!!!

Ok, here's my show cause letter. 

Let me see, what have I achieved in those 8 days.....nothing really, except that I'm slightly more knowledgeable where cameras are concerned. You see, I've been doing nothing but research after research on cameras, online and offline. 

And this is what I learned, from a professional photographer, none the less.  

I was lucky to bump into him at Wide Angle, a camera cum photographic shop in Brem Mall, Kepong, after a very stressful, jammed packed, and people-packed day at the recent PC Fair last weekend. 

But I digress. Back to the topic. Now, what Liong the photographer told me was, the better, more reliable brands for compact cameras are Nikon, Canon and Panasonic. Canon?? Isn't my current camera a Canon?? It wasn't very reliable, was it, if if had a design defect?

According to Liong, Canon is not the only brand affected. Nikon, Olympus and Panasonic had similar design defects, too. But as Canon had captured the biggest market share at that time, the numbers of complaints were more, too. Yeah, it's back to numbers and statistics.

But since then, Nikon, Panasonic and Canon have made technological advances in their designs, and have addressed this problem. And, if it is proven that the lens and shutter in my camera had failed to function due to the sensor defect, Canon will replace those parts free of charge, despite an expired warranty.

He advised me to send it to the Canon service centre in Glenmarie, and if it's not due to the design defect but to wear and tear, then Canon will issue me a quotation for the repairs and I can then decide whether to repair it or purchase a new camera.

He also taught me a host of photographic tricks, like how to overcome the glare of a lamppost that's in the forefront of a night landscape scene using a compact camera that has no lens filter. Just hold a black card and wave it in front of the lens. Yup, it's as simple as that. He demonstrated the effect in his studio, and the black card did not show up in the photo at all. Instead, it cut out the glare.

Thanks, Liong, for the nifty trick.

Canon A430 Powershot Digital Camera Has Design Defects

For the past 3 days, I've been having problems with my camera. I've had it for 2.5 years. It's a Canon A430 Powershot.

During the day, photos turned out "overexposed". Below is a shot I took of the yard of my home during the day. It was quite gloomy & dark at the time the shot was taken. Instead of appearing dark and underexposed, the result was an image of too much light! 

Notice the horizontal lines on the photo

The shot below was taken inside my living room. We bought this sign for Blackie's room yesterday. The background was a beige colour, but the result was anything but beige.

Again, notice the horizontal bands

I googled to find out what the problem is, and discovered that worldwide, there are many people with similar problems when their camera approaches 2 years. It seems that it's a lens and shutter problem, where after x number of shots are taken, the cable snaps and the lens & shutter malfunction. It also appears to be a "design defect". Their video is clear, just like mine, too.

http://www.fixya.com/support/t965335-bright_picture_white_lines_in

It also looks like it costs almost the price of a new camera to replace the lens and shutter. *sigh* Does this mean I have to buy another camera? Any recommendations, anyone? I love to take night scenes, so a camera that produces excellent night shots is a must.

A Day At The Local Race Course

Yesterday TC, hubby and I went to Equine Park for bak kut teh (pork ribs soup), the dry version. TC had mentioned before that he has never tried the dry bak kut teh, so hubby decided to take him to one of the two shops we know that sells dry bak kut teh.

After lunch, we decided to visit the Race Course nearby as we had never been to a live horse race before. I wanted to find out if our local horse race is anything like the Derby, the annual horse race in Surrey, South London. 

At RM6 per person, the entrance fee was not too expensive. But the parking fee is a tad on the high side, at RM6.50 per entry. 

The spectators were mostly race horse pundits and bookies, dressed like they were in their own home instead of in the public.......in dirty-looking shorts, T-shirts and slippers. And to think TC was afraid of being denied entry for not being appropriately attired. Local version of the Derby it certainly wasn't......hahaha.

We spoke to some of the regulars there, and learned that there are about 10 races each day. There are 2 race days a week, on Saturdays and Sundays, and the races take turns to be held in Penang, Perak and Kuala Lumpur. 

After the horses were paraded for the pundits to view, the floor became as noisy as the trading floor of any healthy stock exchange. Orders were shouted and taken down, with the bookies calling for placements of bets on popular horses. Some, however, prefer to place their bets in a more dignified fashion and went to queue up at the betting booths. (No, we didn't bet as we couldn't figure out which are the better horses and jockeys.)

We also learned that as a horse gets more and more bets placed on it, the prize money drops. For example, yesterday, horse no. 1 was the favourite, and as bets were being placed, the prize money displayed on the score board continued to drop. 

So, if you want to make a killing at the race course, bet on the least popular horse and the prize money will be quite hefty. But of course, the least popular horse usually means the chances of it winning the race is pretty slim. However, that is not to say the favourite horse is a sure winner, as yesterday, horse no. 1 did not win. When I commented on that, one of the regulars said that the horses have bad days, too. ;)

Bang! The race has begun...............
